    00013 // This file implements a basic liquid crystal library that comes as standard
    00014 // in the Arduino SDK but using a generic SHIFT REGISTER extension board.
    00015 //
    00016 // @brief
    00017 // This is a basic implementation of the LiquidCrystal library of the
    00018 // Arduino SDK. The original library has been reworked in such a way that
    00019 // this class implements the all methods to command an LCD based
    00020 // on the Hitachi HD44780 and compatible chipsets using a 3 wire latching
    00021 // shift register. While it has been tested with a 74HC595N shift register
    00022 // it should also work with other latching shift registers such as the MC14094
    00023 // and the HEF4094
    00024 //
    00025 // This particular driver has been created as generic as possible to enable
    00026 // users to configure and connect their LCDs using just 3 digital IOs from the
    00027 // AVR or Arduino, and connect the LCD to the outputs of the shiftregister
    00028 // in any configuration. The library is configured by passing the IO pins
    00029 // that control the strobe, data and clock of the shift register and a map
    00030 // of how the shiftregister is connected to the LCD.

    00056 // History
    00057 // 2012.03.29 bperrybap - fixed constructors not properly using Rs
    00058 //                        Fixed incorrect use of 5x10 for default font
    00059 //                        - now matches original LQ library.
    00060 //                        moved delay to send() so it is per cmd/write vs shiftout()
    00061 //                        NOTE: delay is on hairy edge of working when FAST_MODE is on.
    00062 //                        because of waitUsec().
    00063 //                        There is margin at 16Mhz AVR but might fail on 20Mhz AVRs.
